Barbed wire. Steel bars and heavy metal doors. Guard towers with armed officers. Criminals. This is prison! Society says “lock ‘em up and throw away the keys!” But Jesus says “...I was in prison and you came to me (Matthew 25:36).”
The answer is not more prisons or locking people up and “throwing away the key.” The answer is the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Prisoners need regeneration not rehabilitation. Jesus has commissioned His followers to reach beyond the barbed wire fences and steel bars to touch the lives of men and women bound by the shackles of the consequences of their sin with the gospel message and the love of Christ.
“The Lord...is long suffering toward us, not willing that ANY should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
We hold a weekly Bible Study on Thursdays at the Women's Prison in Chino. We are currently studying the book of Revelation. Sign ups for volunteers is usually once a year in August. If interested in signing up, call the church office.
Our mission is to reach the lost souls in prison, and encourage the believers that are incarcerated. As we reach out to inmates we see first hand how the gospel of Jesus Christ changes men's hearts. Through weekly bible study, worship, evangelism and discipleship we see the Lord breaking the chains of sin and despair.
